Houston Dynamo defeat RGV FC 3-0 in preseason scrimmage

The Houston Dynamo finished their preseason trip to the Rio Grande Valley playing two 45-minutes games at H-E-B Park in Edinburg, Texas with the club’s hybrid USL affiliate, RGV FC.

The first game, an intra-squad scrimmage comprised mainly of Dynamo players, finished with a score of 1-0. In the second game, the Dynamo faced RGV FC and took the victory, 3-0.

During the intra-squad scrimmage, both teams created chances early but were unable to convert. In the 23rd minute, defender Dylan Remick sent a cross from the left side and found forward Erick Torres, who slid into the six-yard box and put the ball in the back of the net off of goalkeeper Calle Brown for the only goal of the 45-minute session (WATCH).

In the 21st minute of the second game, forward Alberth Elis dribbled into the box on the right side and was taken down by a Toros defender, resulting in a penalty. The spot kick was well-taken by forward Mauro Manotas for the opening goal (WATCH). Soon after, forward Romell Quioto made his way into the box from the left side and delivered a pass to Elis as the goalkeeper charged. Elis calmly slotted the ball in the open net to make it 2-0 after a half hour (WATCH). In the 35th minute, midfielder Alex sent a cross from the end line to the back post, where Manotas connected with a header to seal the game (WATCH).

The Dynamo will play a scrimmage against Houston Baptist University on Saturday at Houston Sports Park before heading to Tucson, Arizona to compete in the Desert Diamond Cup.
